Hello.

I need a set of four 215/55/13 or 215/60/13 tyres
What's the general feeling out there for quality and value for money?
Do Avon/Kuhmo do a road legal tyre in this size?
Anyone have a part worn set I could buy to stick on my 8x13 wheels?

Any help appreciated.
Thanks.

Avon ZZR's in the size you're looking for. Crap in the wet though, apparantly....

Kumho Ecsta V70A also available in that size. Cheaper but heavier than the ZZR. Available in 4 compounds Super soft, Soft, Medium, Hard.
SS/S for sprints and hillclimbs
M or H for track/road.
I'm using H for track/road and SS for sprints/hillclimbs. I think some of the racers use M.
The jury is still out on which is the better tyre in terms of results.
